History: His birth and existence was kept a secret from his father whom he has never met. His mother made sure that he had the best, most intensive training from both Master Thieves and Master Assassins. He was given the best education in France from ages 4 to 7, then in Quebec from ages 7 to 9, then returned to New Orleans to attend an exclusive private school. He was trained to take over the leadership of the United Guilds. He was also taught how to move about in high society, how to survive as a homeless Quarter rat and how to be a pureblood Cajun. He was not taught how to trust or be close to people. Nor how to form friendships or handle love affairs. When he was 16 his powers emerged, and he asserted his independence, mostly by staying out late, drinking and participating in other illicit activities. But he also finished his education and continued to work for the United Guilds as both a thief and an assassin. When he was 18, he left New Orleans in search of his father. On the way he was kidnapped from his dimension by Mr. Sinister, who brought him into this, the Marvel-NextGen dimension.

Personality: Rene is outwardly, friendly, flirty, and fun. He makes passes at both men and women, and is attracted to both. He likes to make people laugh. He knows how to blend in and be comfortable will all types of people, but he has learned that at the expense of being himself. He feels he can only be himself when he is alone, so he will retreat sometimes and hide from the world. He does have strong opinions, and when the occasion arises he does not back down from an argument or fight. He presents himself as an innocuous ‘pretty boy’ but he is always the dangerous thief and the deadly assassin.

Miscellaneous: Rene is a bit of an adrenaline junkie and nothing is to risky for him to try. He loves animals. He’s good with children. He plays the guitar. He smokes, drinks and sleeps around. He misses home.
